US EditionHouse Committee to Hold Hearing on Minnesota Fraud
Congressional hearing targets $9 billion in suspected fraud in Minnesota’s social services, including a $250 million pandemic relief scheme, with ongoing DOJ prosecutions.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House Oversight Committee will hold its first of two scheduled hearings on Minnesota fraud, livestreamed at oversight.house.gov, Comer said.
- Investigations have identified roughly 9 billion in government funds linked to alleged fraud, including the $250 million Feeding Our Future scheme, highlighting a broader pattern.
- Three Republican state lawmakers will testify Wednesday morning, including Rep. Kirstin Robbins, Rep. Walter Hudson, and Rep. Marion Rarick, while Comer sent letters to Jodi Harpstead and Eric Grumdahl.
- Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison have been invited to a Feb. 10 hearing; Walz called the fraud estimate 'defamation' while Ellison said his office will review the invitation and cited over 300 Medicaid fraud cases and over $80 million in recoveries.
- If witnesses decline, the Oversight Committee may evaluate compulsory process, Rep. James Comer said the committee will hold future hearings to uncover why fraud is prolific and the U.S. Department of Justice is prosecuting fraudsters.
